As they spoke, Shi Qingluo realized that Mother Xiao was kind-hearted and wasn't a fuzzy person. She was easy to get along with.

Her daughter, Xiao Baili was shy, docile, and hardworking.

Although Xiao Erlang was only eight years old, he was very sensible.

He was on the opposite end of the spectrum when compared to an eight-year-old modern brat.

Shi Qingluo was born with a silver spoon. Both of her parents were successful in their own businesses.

They gave her the best education and were generous with her pocket money. However, they did not spend much time with her.

That was why she had developed a strong personality since she was young.

If she had a stern mother-in-law or sister-in-law, she probably wouldn't be able to get along with them.

The Xiao family was doing quite well. She could protect them and they would have someone to rely on.

She just didn't know what the unconscious Scholar Xiao was like.

From the words of gossip and Xiao Erlang, he should be someone who was protective and responsible.

Otherwise, he would have followed his rich father to the capital.

He would not have broken off ties to stay with his poor mother and take care of his younger siblings.

She thought for a moment and said, "When I was in the Taoist temple, my master discovered a medicine to reduce fever."

"If you are comfortable with it, I can take a look at Scholar Xiao and try to feed him."

After the conversation just now, Mother Xiao also knew that Shi Qingluo was from the neighboring village. She had lived with that old priest in the Taoist temple since she was young and had almost been married to the Shi family as a funeral offering.

Although she was kind-hearted, her intuition was very accurate.

She could feel that Shi Qingluo had good intentions.

She must be quite capable in order to make the Shi family break off the engagement willingly.

Moreover, the doctor had come to see his eldest son in the morning and told her to be mentally prepared. If his high fever did not subside, he might not be able to wake up, and would not be able to live for long.

Now that Shi Qingluo had the fever medication from the old immortal, she had a sense of hope, as if she was grabbing hold of the last straw.

"I believe you. I believe you, Miss. I beg you to take a look at Dalang (eldest son). If his fever subsides and he wakes up, I'll be your slave to repay you."

As she spoke, she wanted to kneel down to Shi Qingluo. It was clear that she was willing to do anything for her son, and she had a motherly heart.

Shi Qingluo hurriedly stopped her. "There's no need to be a slave. Let me take a look first."

Even though she had the intention of marrying in, she would not consider it if Dalang was not a match for her or if he was too ugly.

After all, even though she was eager to get rid of the Shi family so that she could start her own business, she still had her own requirements and was definitely interested in handsome guys.
